Just a poll to see if your course was worth the money and did you get out of it what you expected......dave...

Mine would of rally fallen into the not really what I expected but I learnt enough to make up for it bracket.

I suppose really we wrere taught the bare minimum needed, but there again it was only a 4 day course, but there was a hell of a lot more they could of simply told us, or even made out fact sheets explaining more about adhesives and substrats etc etc.

Same here.

I probably learnt more reading these forums for a few hours than the full 4 days did, not counting hands on experiance obviously.

My course was OK, nothing on the business side really,acounts, advertising ect.

I booked with a place in Preston, have named it before but I won't bother now, never ended up going on the course thank god.

Amatures to say the least in my view, then some poor soul on here said they had gone there, and it was quite bad.

PS I voted yes incase that wasn't obvious.

Did my course at PTS Warrington as anyone who follows regular threads will know. Got out of it more than I expected.............realised tiling wasn't as easy as I or most people seem to think!! And yes they did cover everything except specialist stuff like Victorian or elaborate mosaics but these courses can be booked if required. (weekends in Essex branch).

well,ive shelved out £320 for 3 days at the lancashire school of plastering,im a bit embarrased by it really as most courses run for 4weeks,two of us did it and we both felt that it just touched the basics,learned loads on this forum and its all a learning curve when your a newbie.

**IvegotsTILE** · 27-08-2007

I did the NETT course and even though it was only a 4 day course it gave me all the info and confidence I needed to start tiling as a job,whole course was spot on.

**devonmark** · 27-08-2007

As stated elsewhere, I did my training at pts warrington...i thought it was well worth it, no limits to how much materials used while on the course, waste as much as you like..therefore you learn more through mistakes. didn't know which way to fix a tile to the wall before i went on it...still don't..
